Description: A Method of Treating Gastrointestinal Motilitv Disorders Background of the invention. This invention provides a novel method for treating a mammal suffering from gastrointestinal motility disorders. The primary function of the gastrointestinal tract is the absorption of ingested nutrients. To achieve this primary function requires that transit along the esophagus and gastrointestinal tract is at a rate that allows for optimal digestion and absorption of water and electrolytes. Although the etiology and pathophysioiogy of esophageal and gastrointestinal motility disorders is incompletely understood, abnormal patterns of gastro¬ intestinal motility that result in stimulated motility (hypermotility) may cause many of the symptoms of disorders such as Diffuse Esophageal Spasm (an esophageal obstructive disorder characterized by dysphagia), Achalasia (an obstructive disorder in which the lower esophageal sphincter fails to relax adequately resulting in dysphagia), noncardiac chest pain and Functional Bowel Disorders such as the Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), non-ulcer dyspepsia, and idiopathic constipation. The afore mentioned esophageal and gastrointestinal disorders are currently incompletely understood, they are however thought to be the result of abnormal motility (smooth muscle activity). Therefore, we believe a rationale therapy would be to reduce the hypermotility and . restore normal patterns of esophageal and gastrointestinal motility. In the United States the only drugs approved for treating motility disorders are cisapride and metoclopramide, the latter a dopamine D2 receptor antago¬ nist that releases acetylcholine from the myenteric plexus, consequently such as agent enhances motility which is not desirable in treating hyper¬ motility disorders. Presently, no efficacious therapy exists for the treat- ment of esophageal and gastrointestinal hypermotility disorders. Obser¬ vations with anticholinergics and smooth muscle relaxants have been disappointing due to side effects such as dry mouth and blurred vision for the anticholinergics and headaches with smooth muscle relaxants such as nifedipine. We have discovered a new class of selective muscarinic agents which have not previously been considered for the use in treating motility disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. Summary of the Invention The method of this invention comprises administering to a patient suffering from gastrointestinal disorders an effective amount of a com¬ pound of the formula I wherein X is oxygen or sulphur; R is hydrogen, amino, halogen, -CHO, -NO 2 , -R 4 , -Y, -NHCO-R 4 , -OR 4 , -SR 4 , -SOR 4 , -SO 2 R 4 , C 3 . 10 -cycloalkyl, C 4 . 10 -cycloalkenyl, C 4 . 10 -(cycloalkyl- alkyl), -Z 1 -C 3 . 10 -cycloalkyl, -Z^C^^-cycloalkenyl, -Z 1 -C 4 . ?0 -(cycloalkylal- kyl), -Z 1 -C 4 . 10 -(cycloalkenylalkyl), -Z 1 -C 4 - 10 -(methylenecycloalkylalkyl), -NH-R 4 , -NR 4 R 5 , -NH-OR 4 , -CH = NOR 4 , phenyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, phenoxy, benzoyl, tetrahydronaphthyl, naphtyl, indenyl, wherein each aromatic group is optionally substituted with halogen, -NO 2 , -CN, C,. 4 - alkyl, C^-alkoxy, -OCF 3 , -CONH 2 , -CSNH 2 , phenoxy or phenyl; or R is -Z 1 -R 6 -Z -R 5 , -Z 1 -R 6 -Z 2 -R 7 -Z 3 -R 5 , -Z 1 -CO-R 5 , -Z'-R^CO-R 5 , -Z 1 -R β -CO 2 -R 5 , -Z 1 -R 6 -O 2 C-R 5 , -Z^-CONH-R 5 , -Z^-NHCO-R 5 , -Z 1 -R 6 -Y,~-Z 1 -R e -Z 2 -Y, wherein Z 1 and Z 2 independently are oxygen or sulphur, and R 4 and R 5 independently are straight or branched C^^-alkyl, straight or branched C 2 . 15 -alkenyl, straight or branched C 2 . 15 -alkynyl, each of which is option¬ ally substituted with one or more halogen(s), C,. 6 -alkoxy, -CF 3 , -CN, -COOH, -OH, -NH 2 , C^-alkyl ester, -SH, -NHR 4 , -NR 4 R 5 , phenyl or phe¬ noxy, wherein each aromatic group is optionally substituted with halogen, -NO 2 , -CN, C,. 4 -alkyl, C^-alkoxy, -OCF 3 , -CONH 2 , -CSNH 2 , phenyl or phenoxy, and wherein R 6 and R 7 independently are straight or branched C^o-alkylene, straight or branched C 2 .ι 0 -alkenylene, straight or branched C 2 . 10 -alkynylene, each of which is optionally substituted with one or more halogen(s), -CF 3 , -CN, -COOH, -OH, -NH 2 , C^-alky! ester, -SH, -NHR 4 , -NR R 5 , phenyl or phenoxy, and Y is a 5 or 6 membered heterocyclic group containing one to four N, O or S atom(s) or a combi¬ nation thereof, which heterocyclic group is optionally substituted at carbon or nitrogen atom(s) with straight or branched C,. β -alkyl, phenyl or benzyl, or a carbon atom in the heterocyclic group together with an oxygen atom f rm a carbonyl group, or which heterocyclic group is optionally fused with a phenyl group; and G is selected from one of the following azabicyclic rings wherein the thiadiazole or oxadiazole ring can be attached at any carbon atom of the azabicyclic ring; R 1 and R 2 may be present at any position, including the point of attachment of the thiadiazole or oxadiazole ring, and independently are hydrogen, straight or branched C^-alkyl, straight or branched C 2 . 5 -alkenyl, straight or branched C 2 . 5 -alkynyl, straight or branched C^^-alkoxy, straight or branched C s-alkyl substituted with -OH, -OH, halogen, -NH 2 or carboxy; R 3 is H, straight or branched C^- alkyl, straight or branched C 2 . 5 -alkenyl or straight or branched C 2 . 5 - alkynyl; n is 0, 1 or 2; m is 0, 1 or 2; p is 0, 1 or 2; q is 1 or 2; and -------- is a single or double bond; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Especially preferred salts include tartrate and hydrochloride. As used herein, the term "patient" includes any mammal which could benefit from treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. The term particularly refers to a human patient, but is not intended to be so limited. The thiadiazole and oxadiazole compounds used in the presently claimed method have been disclosed and claimed in PCT/DK91/00236. The thiadiazole and oxadiazole derivatives are known to be cholinergic muscarinic agents useful in the treatment of presenile and senile dementia. The compounds are believed to be useful for treating Alzhei¬ mer's disease, glaucoma, and painful conditions. Other disclosures suggest that thiadiazole compounds may be useful for the treatment of illnesses whose clinical manifestations are due to cholinergic deficiency, (European Patent Application 307142). Such illnesses include Hunting- ton's chorea, tardive dyskinesia, hyperkinesia, mania, and Tourette Syndrome. The compounds of the present invention are chemically and biologically different from that previously reported by Schiavone et al. (1988) and the compounds inhibit small intestinal and colonic motility through a cholinergic mechanism since the inhibition of motility is blocked by atropine (10 and 100 μg/kg i.v.). In addition these motility inhibiting compounds have the desirable feature of having minimal effects on salivation and heart rate. In addition, the compounds of this method have been found to have a favourable profile of activity in a number of in vitro binding assays, designed to measure the degree of binding to neural receptors. The compounds have IC 50 levels of less than .μlΛ in the 3 H-oxotremo- rine-M binding assay, indicating that the compounds have muscarinic receptor affinity. This profile of activity in in vitro receptor binding assays, like that observed in the motility tests, would indicate that the compounds are effective in the treatment of gastrointestinal motility disorders. Methods Animals. Experiments were performed on fasted male ferret weighing 0.8 - 1.5 kg). Anaesthesia was induced with urethane (1.5 g/kg i.p.), a tracheal tube was inserted to provide a clear airway for spontaneous breathing and the body temperature was maintained at 38°C using a homeothermic blanket. The left jugular vein was cannulated for the subsequent administration of drugs and the carotid artery for the conti¬ nual measurement of blood pressure and heart rate. Motility Measurements. Following a laporatomy segments of jejunum and colon were isolated from the remainder of the Gl tract. In order to record motility of predominantly the circular smooth muscle, a saline-filled cannula was inserted in an oral directed into the jejunum and colon. Experimental Protocol. After an initial stabilization period, spontaneous motility was recorded for 30 min. then a bolus injection of drug was administered i.v. and flushed through the cannula with 1 ml of physio¬ logical saline (37°C). After 10 min. a second dose was investigated and changes in motility recorded for 10 min. If motility did not return to basal (pretreatment levels) more time was allowed between doses (up to 20 min.). All drugs were made up in physiological saline and made fresh daily. Data Analysis. Following the bolus injection of compound the duration of loss of gastrointestinal motility was calculated. Most of the compounds were tested at screening doses of 1 , 3, 10 and 30 g/kg i.v. The affinity of the compounds for the muscarinic receptors was deter¬ mined using the non-selective agonist ligand, 3 H-oxotremorine-M. Birds- dall N.J.M., Hulme E.C., and Burgen A.S.V., "The Character of Muscarinic Receptors in Different Regions of the Rat Brain", 207 Proc. Rov. Soc. 1 (London, Series B, 1980). The results of this assay are described in Table I below. Each compound was tested to determine the affinity of the compound for the muscarinic receptors using the following procedure. For each in vitro binding, male Sprague-Dawley (Harlan Sprague-Dawley, Indianapolis, IN) rats weighing from about 100 to about 150 grams each were sacrificed by decapitation. The brains were quickly removed and the cerebral cortex were dissected from the brain. The cerebral cortex tissue was homogenized in 10 volumes of 0.32 M sucrose and homo- genized for about 10 minutes at about 1000 x g. The supernatant was centrifuged at about 12,000 x g for about 10 minutes and the resulting pellet was resuspended in 20 mM tris-CI, pH 7.4. The resuspended pellet was centrifuged again for about 10 minutes at about 50,000 x g. The resulting homogenate was preincubated for about 10 minutes at about 25°C and centrifuged again for about 10 minutes at about 50,000 x g. The pellet was resuspended at 1 gram of pellet per 3 ml of buffer and frozen at about -80°C until used. The inhibition of binding of 3 H-oxotremorine-M binding to muscarinic receptors was determined by mixing the compound of the Example, 3 nM 3 H-oxotremorine-M (about 87 Ci/mmoles, New England Nuclear, Boston MA), and cerebral cortical membranes equivalent to about 10 mg wet weight, which is about 100 μg of cortical membrane protein, in about 1 ml total volume of 20 nM tris-CI buffer, pH 7.4, containing 1 mM MnCI 2 . The aforementioned homogenates mixture was incubated for about 15 minutes at about 25°C and then the homogenates were filtered through glass filters (Whatman, GF/C) with vacuum. The filters were washed 3 times with about 2 ml of cold tris-CI buffer, and placed in scintillation vials containing about 10 ml of scintillation fluid (Ready Protein + , Beckman, Fullerton, CA). Radioactivity trapped on the filters was determined by liquid scintillation spectrometry. Nonspecific binding was determined using 1 μM atropine. The concentration of compound required to inhibit specific binding 50% (IC 50 ) was determined using standardized computer assisted calculations. DeLean, A. et al. Am. J. Phvsiol.. 235. (1978).

For example, in the treatment of adult humans, dosages from about 0.05 to about 100 mg, preferably from about 0.1 to about 100 mg, per day may be used. A most preferable dosage is about 10 mg to about 70 mg per day. In choosing a regimen for patients suffering from gastrointestinal motility disorders it may frequently be necessary to begin with a dosage of from about 30 to about 70 mg per day and when the condition is under control to reduce the dosage as low as from about 1 to about 10 mg per day. The exact dosage will depend upon the mode of administration, form in which administered, the subject to be treated and the body weight of the subject to be treated, and the preference and experience of the physician or veterinarian in charge. The route of administration may be any route, which effectively trans¬ ports the active compound to the appropriate or desired site of action, such as oral or parenteral e.g. rectal, transdermal, subcutaneous, intra¬ venous, intramuscular or intranasal, the oral route being preferred. Typical compositions include a compound of formula I or a pharmaceuti¬ cally acceptable acid addition salt thereof, associated with a pharma- ceutically acceptable carrier. In making the compositions, conventional techniques for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions may be used. For example, the active compound will usually be mixed with a carrier, or diluted by a carrier, or enclosed within a carrier which may be in the form of a ampoule, capsule, sachet, paper, or other container. When the carrier serves as a diluent, it may be solid, semi-solid, or liquid material which acts as a vehicle, excipient, or medium for the active compound. The active compound can be adsorbed on a granular solid container for example in a sachet. Some examples of suitable carriers are water, salt solutions, alcohols, polyethylene glycols, polyhydroxyethoxy- lated castor oil, gelatine, lactose, amylose, magnesium stearate, talc, silicic acid, fatty acid monoglycerides and diglycerides, pentaerythritol fatty acid esters, hydroxymethylcellulose and polyvinylpyrrolidone. The pharmaceutical preparations can be sterilized and mixed, if desired, with auxiliary agents, emulsifiers, salt for influencing osmotic pressure, buffers and/or coloring substances and the like, which do not deleteri- ously react with the active compounds. For parenteral application, particularly suitable are injectable solutions or suspensions, preferably aqueous solutions with the active compound dissolved in polyhydroxylated castor oil. Tablets, dragees, or capsules having talc and/or a carbohydrate carrier or binder or the like are particularly suitable for oral application. Preferable carriers for tablets, dragees, or capsules include lactose, corn starch, and/or potato starch. A syrup or elixir can be used in cases where a sweetened vehicle can be employed. Generally, the compounds are dispensed in unit form comprising from about 1 to about 100 mg in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier per unit dosage. A typical tablet, appropriate for use in this method, may be prepared by conventional tabletting techniques and contains: Active compound 5.0 mg Lactosum 67.8 mg Ph. Eur. Avicel ® 31.4 mg Amberlite ® 1.0 mg Magnesii stearas 0.25 mg Ph. Eur. The compounds used in this method may be prepared by commonly known chemical methods. Most of the compounds may be prepared using the methods taught in PCT/D 91 /00236 which are hereby incor¬ porated by reference. The following description is intended to illustrate possible synthetic routes for the preparation of the compounds utilized in this method. The compounds may be prepared by a) reacting a compound of formula II wherein G has the meaning defined above, : - : ^N is >— NH or >=N and R θ is H, OH or O-alkyl, with S 2 CI 2 to form a compound of formula III wherein G has the meaning defined above; subsequent displacement of CI with an appropriate nucleophile gives a compound of formula I where¬ in X is S, or b) dehydrating a compound of formula IV wherein G has the meaning defined above and R 7 is alkyl, amino, halogen, alkoxy or alkylthio, to form a compound of formula V wherein G and R 7 have the meanings defined above, or c) when R 7 in formula V is amino, the amino group can be substituted by chloro by known procedures, and subsequent displacement of CI with an appropriate nucleophile gives a compound of formula I wherein X is O, or d) oxidizing a compound of formula VI wherein G, R 4 and X have the meanings defined above by standard pro¬ cedures to form a compound of formula VII and subsequent displacement of -SO 2 -R 4 with an appropriate nucleophile to form a compound of formula I.
